[I haven't been using Squeak for a while and didn't really followed the 
mailing, so sorry if my reply to this mail doesn't make much sense.]

If the point is to remove all the changed: messages because they are 
currently not being used, then I think that it is a big mistake. I am 
thinking of porting the StarBrowser to Squeak, but I want a decent way 
to capture all kinds of system related events like that. If you want to 
remove the 'self changed: #whatever things because there now is another 
kind of event mechanism: fine. If you want to remove them because there 
are tools that currently do not take advantage of these things: please 
let them stay. Otherwise I'll probably need to add them again later...
